This comment is completely generic and the name links to an ad for "a system for making a billion dollars". I think you, "Bill", are a spambot.

This grows a new shape x pixels outside/inside the selected shape. * More complicated but very cool would be an effect that filled with a gradient that matched the shape. For example, if I had an "S" shape, linear gradients don't follow the curve of the "S". This usually has to be done manually by creating a smaller S inside (using offset above) and then blurring it. This doesn't exist in Inkscape yet, but is much needed. * Something like Inkscapes new spiro paths would be cool (thicker in the middle, to thin at the end). Naturally, I've asked for the hardest stuff first. You *did* tell us to ask! ;) Not sure what kind of effects we can ask for, but here are a few things that would be awesome! :)

I'm working on a jquery plugin that will make easy to use svg/vml text effects on html text.I would appreciate giving me ideas what kind of effects would be verry usefull for you people.Yet I have stroke, opacity,gradient,blur,skew,rotate. I was thinking even of combinations of some effects to come up with a great new effect.thanks. hi everyone!

Seeing interesting new art tools appear on my machine keeps my motivation to create artwork up! Let me know if there's any way I can help further. For my part, I'll just say that it's great getting to hear about what's actually happening "behind the scenes". Commit logs usually look like another language that I don't understand, so blog posts like this are like gold. :) Thanks for the code!

It's on svn currently, but I'll make a new release soon. Hi, just posting to let you know that I just commited some changes to spacenavd which among other things make the fdi policy file unnecessary.

Shift+Click: Clicking to fast might result in a double click, which will activate the "native" tool for the clicked shape. And thanks for your kind words, your feedback is also a valuable contribution. Keeps my motivation up. :-) Thanks for your effort.

I also looked and, yes indeed, Karbon *does* save to different file formats! Don't know how I missed this (probably just so used to the fact that Inkscape *doesn't*!) Nice work! Shift+click seems to work well, too... sometimes. If you click too fast it seems to change into edit path mode. Maybe the time for two clicks to change to edit mode could be reduced, or this could be ignored when shift+clicking. It also seems to not work if you already have a large object selected behind the object you're clicking on. Anyway, using Karbon more, I'm really impressed with how its coming. Already I see a couple of things that I wish were in Inkscape (single curve calligraphy editing, multi format file export, a real layer view with individual objects!) I just wish I could magic up some trained packaging monkeys so I could give you feedback on the dev version of 2.1! Anyway, thanks again for working on this. Karbon is one of the projects I'm really looking forward to using once some of the current patches make their way down the line. It's looking fabulous! :) Thanks for the reply,
